I know very little about minix, but I am familiar with PC's, and I'd like to warn everyone that some of the 'clone' monochrome display adapters don't have multiple pages of screen memory so the trick of moving the beginning of the visible portion of the screen doesn't work. One that comes to mind is the adapter that came with one of the Wyse 286 AT's. Scott
